It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
Yes
This rule is anti bullying and I guess that’s for the best but I am not happy about it
Agree with this change.
Well I'm going to be a splitter and start c/more_tankie_the_dunk_tank that allows any and all dunks to fight back against this woke hexbear mod overreach ^this^ ^is^ ^a^ ^joke^
boooo
@mods would my most recent post be disallowed under the new rules? a bit confused and wanna clarify, since i think they are sorta known and i was more criticizing the ideology and idea espoused, but lmk either way!
thanks for the work, we love our mod comrades 
Isn't Luke Smith a pretty public figure?
oh no clue, i forgot how i even came across his stuff
Its dunking on a public figure so it would be allowed
"Hexbear is an echo chamber", they say, about the forum with a top-5 most active board dedicated to showcasing outgroup opinions.
Yeah, but they don't uncritically accept those ideas and return to supporting the status quo, like they would do if they were really not an echo chamber!
Led by authoritarian tankie mods, who hold community discussions about rule changes and fine tune them according to user feedback.
I think this is a great rule. I'm glad to see more active moderation happening.
Can I post my own posts in the dunktank?
No
